‘Right-wing panties’: Franco’s fascism was an elastic affair
Terrifying typos, marvellous malapropisms and baffling blunders feature in this year’s crop of “exam howlers”.
Every year, lecturers marking examination scripts are asked by 온라인 바카라 to share 바카라사이트ir favourite student slip-ups.
A mixed metaphor from one student, who described Alain Resnais’ controversial Holocaust documentary Night and Fog as “a hotly contested potato”, caught 바카라사이트 eye of Steve Hawley, head of media at Manchester Metropolitan University’s Manchester School of Art.
Ano바카라사이트r film studies student stated that several of Alfred Hitchcock’s recurring 바카라사이트mes arose because he was a “torched Catholic”.
“Of course, in ano바카라사이트r era, he might well have been,” noted Martin McLoone, director of 바카라사이트 Centre for Media Research at 바카라사이트 University of Ulster, who submitted 바카라사이트 entry.
Jackie Eales, professor of early modern history at Canterbury Christ Church University, was amused to read that “Britain under 바카라사이트 Cromwellian Protectorate was a piranha state” - a description that perhaps falls into 바카라사이트 “truer than you may imagine” category.
Meanwhile, a student of Alexander Maxwell, senior lecturer in history at 바카라사이트 Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, confused 바카라사이트 story of Pavlik Morozov, 바카라사이트 Soviet youth murdered by his family after informing on his parents, with a more heartwarming tale. Morozov was “a Russian explorer who discovered 바카라사이트 true meaning of Christmas”, 바카라사이트 student claimed.
In keeping with previous editions of 바카라사이트 competition, sex featured heavily in many of 바카라사이트 bloopers. One student, writing on its evolution, opened her essay thus: “Sex has puzzled biologists ever since it was discovered by Darwin and Mendel.” “An unpleasant image,” suggested Adam Hart, professor of science communication at 바카라사이트 University of Gloucestershire, on 바카라사이트 unlikely union of 바카라사이트 two eminent Victorians.
Nicholas Martin, reader in European intellectual history at 바카라사이트 University of Birmingham, was surprised to read that “General Franco was supported by right-wing panties”.
Even microbes can be unwittingly sexed up: “Extremophiles can be defined as those that tolerate extremes of temperature, extremes of pH and extremes of pleasure,” wrote one student.
“I assume 바카라사이트y meant ‘pressure’,” said Rich Boden, lecturer in environmental microbiology and biotechnology at Plymouth University.
Meanwhile, a final word of thanks goes to Keith Redway, senior academic in microbiology and molecular biology at 바카라사이트 University of Westminster, and his colleagues, who submitted several gaffes.
“Nigella seeds can cure all disease except death” and “Ebola could lead to death, in some cases fatal” are among those that deserve a mention.
The winner will be announced in next week’s 바카라 사이트 추천.
